You have been drafted.

Slip18 (reserve catcher and switch-hitting pinch hitter).

Four openings left. I need pitching. Only have eight pitchers right now. Only one left-hander (me) on the team. I know this is a conservative websight, but as I always say, left-handed by birth, right-minded by choice.

I NEED MORE PITCHING, dammit...

What position(s) can Hap play? We need pitching and a left-handed bat or two.

She's right-handed, but I bet she can pitch.

Hap has been drafted.

Hap: Fifth starter and relief pitcher. Is she a power (i.e. fastball) type or more of a off-speed (i.e. knuckler, curve, etc.) type?

One pitching spot and two position spots left. The final pitching spot MUST be filled by a left-hander.

We wear the Houston Astros uniforms. Predominately white with stripes at home, and black with gold lettering on the road. They were red with gold lettering as an alternate on Sundays.

We don't have time to re-design the uniforms.... If this carries into next season, maybe...

I found my uniform, Coach.

Slip 18 would look lovely on the back.

This striped number is white with gold and black. It will look wonderful on you.

Can you pitch left-handed?

They look nice, don't they? Maybe we can draft Registered for some pictures of us in action.

I can't even wipe my butt left-handed. I can, however, speak out of both sides of my mouth....

Hmmmmm....can I apply for bench coach?

I will steal signs, read lips, discern body language. Perhaps even a role as a pinch runner...love stealing bases.

I will provide scouting videos of all opposing teams. I will provide coordinates for the opponents defense weaknesses.

I will be stealthy in all dealings with any 'presstitute.

I will stand up for you, watch your backside and listen for opposing teams strategeries. ;-)

I have to think about hiring of coaches for a couple of days. First task is to finish the 25-person roster.
